Give Our Backs some Space

The problem with so many running backs is we specialize them too much. As a defense, all you have to do is study tape and you'll take Ingram down every time in the backfield.

P.T. gets more variety than Ingram, which makes him a bit more illusive and successful. Ingram maybe had 1 or 2 holes against the Falcons.

That's what I've been trying to say forever. Seems everybody is so quick to bash Ingram instead of trying to figure out why he's struggling.

Kind of like the Harper hate... Everyone bashes him until he has a decent game...

I don't buy that excuse cause Ivory had those same holes without any variety and he did better. Ingram just not illusive, he just a brute runner. It work for him in college but the linebackers and safeties in the pros are much better tacklers
